I am the Earth

If you are the desert
And she is the ocean
Then I am the earth
That is grounded for all eternity
I am big, bold and beautiful.
I was here in the beginning
and I will be here in the end.
Though the rains and winds
batter down upon me
I stand firm.
As the storm threatens to tear me asunder
my majestic mountain peeks still
reach upward toward the sky
rising high, stretching to touch
the twinkling stars and bright blue sky.
In the spring
my lush valleys are covered
with tall green grass.
My vistas are ripe and fertile
with abundant life
my mounds are warm and inviting
enticing to the touch.
I am the earth, the renaissance woman
that fills all vision with beauty.
I am the faithful lover who never strays.
I am the mother who cradles her children.
My bosoms heave with the majesty of life.
My springs and rivers flow freely,
pouring my euphoric wetness downward,
to fill the cold, lost and lonely ocean.
Filling her
with my healing waters of life.
If you are the desert,
dry, barren and dying,
a parasite that leeches life,
from everything you touch,
and she is the ocean,
a complex, wild enigma,
then I am the earth.
I am filled with the timelessness
of eternity
and the stability of life.
My never-ending love,
Pours outward
and gives a strength
that only I can give
Because I am the Earth.
